      What do americans understand about the famous "80 hour workweek"?
      In the end of the day we have to eat, rest, stay in shape, have families and so on... Those parts of life will sum up to at least 9h on an average day. Adding time-wasters like driving to work it gets easily to 10 hours a day. To be able to work those 80 hours you would have to spend all your time left of every single day of the week for work.
      Depending on the kind of work it seems impossible (just thinking of doing though physics and math -skills like in university, 60 hours was an absolute limit while working efficient). So whats the math and which kind of activities are behind the 80 hour week?
      PS: Thanks for your content. You and your team are doing great work!

      I'm in the next part, set back recovery. Restarting to get my cash flow coming in again.
      The challenge I have is, finding anyone to talk to when you're not doing a "job". Most people dont understand what it takes and will fill your head with milky weak ass platitudes and give up talk.
      After this set back that came on about 8 weeks ago, I can now see a cloudy direction. 2 weeks ago I couldnt even get excited looking at my goals.

So we are making a temp business that's low capital startup to pay for a higher capital startup(s) so when were 18 or so we can start as brokers then create a firm. I have one of my friends doing blogging and other quick write stuff in addition to eBay flipping to generate some more capital. I am creating affiliate marketing websites to have a more passive cash flow as a backup in case everything fails, meanwhile my other friend is doing teespring as a secondary passive income because there is no start up cost. He is also my researcher for the next business I'm about to talk about. Our more expensive businesses were starting are amazon fba and dropshipping and we're using our gains from the low capital startups to pay for them.

    I agree with most but number 6. Work smarter not harder.
    If someone works work 80 hours a week at a job they don’t like, they will never want to stay their own business. I work 10.5 hours a day now from 8 and it’s a job I am not challenged enough at. Doing 80 hours there which I can’t unless you are on salary would not make any sense. I think you want to enforce or see if someone has the right work ethic. I would put number 6 as find your passion. If you are passionate about something, spending any amount of time doing it is fun and you won’t notice it.

    @andrewigumnov993 3 роки тому +4

    Hey Pat! I would disagree only with one point, about 80-hours of working a week. I think, it's an individual thing, how many hours you should work. The point is you need to find your own balance between being productive and work hard. I mean, they are two different things. I can work as much as possible but you'll begin to being unproductive, because you'r just tired so much. You need to know how to relax. YOu need to know how much time you need for relaxing and how much time you need for working. You can work 80 hours a week but maybe it would be fore efficient if you work 60 hours a week and 5 hours a week you spend for sport and 15 hours you spend for being on nature, for example.
    Good luck everyone with getting all what you desire!

    Great video! It's also important to take care of health, otherwise you can't do buisiness. Some people try to stay up too many nights or don't eat well and it eventually catches up to them. So take care of health because it iactually matters to success in the long run. They've done studies on students doing well in school and found that getting sleep and excersize is highly correlated to success in school....I think it's fair to assume the same goes for success in any other type of work in the long run.

Its easy for me to say yeah I can do everything you just said but Id be lieing if I said that. Stepping out of the comfort of a 9 to 5 is scary. Im making a promise to myself not to hesitate, do not let fear rule my thoughts and just go out and sell what I fucking love and show my potential buyers through my passion and love that my product is everything they need and more!!

    hey pat thanks for another amazing video! I just need some advice regarding this topic. I'm an employee and since last month as I'm watching your videos and other motivational sites, my urge on becoming an entrepreneur is growing fast and my work is somehow stressful and i dont feel that working 12hrs straight for a company is worth it rather than working on myself and my goals for that much time. But I'm a little confused if I got the strength that I need to start my own journey as an entrepreneur so I'm literally considering taking a new job. I'm thinking maybe I'm just stressed or exhausted in my working environment. So I'm torn between going all in building a business or having a new job. Could you enlighten me in this? That would really help me out. And one more question, is the fear of getting rejected in a job could give a positive effect on just building your own business? Thanks a lot! Godbless.

  • @soniaperez2417
    @soniaperez2417 2 роки тому

    This is the best advise I have seen on the subject. Most of what you see and hear wants you to believe that going from employee to entrepreneur is a "walk in the park". I am here to tell you that is is far harder than you can ever imagine if you are lacking some of the skills that he is encouraging to have BEFORE you leave your "miserable" but "cushy" job that provides you two days off per week, that give you holiday pay and sick pay, and that does not require you to "wear many hats" even when you are barely familiar with a specific "hat". I left employment for self-employment soon-to-be 16 years ago. I have learned A LOT, and been through more pain than I ever anticipated. If I had to do it again, and this excellent advice was available to me then (Oct 2006) it is highly likely that I would have chosen to look for a more agreeable job, perhaps, but not for starting a business. I learned the very hard way. Heed this gentleman's advise. Trust me. This man is on point and it is telling the truth. And, if you start a business, do not ever do your own business accounting (unless you are an experienced accountant that also happen to have his or her own business)or get professional advise from amateurs. I have seen horrible tax work and financial statements and bookkeeping that screams of unqualified preparers. Excellent accounting will help you sleep well at night. Best of luck if you are ready to become an entrepreneur, and if you are ready, or have "big pockets" then , go for it!

What you must not do is sitting on the cash. You do need to have a pillow but just accumulating cash won't make you richer. So my advice would be save and invest.
